1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo identify the risk factors for and short-term prognosis of intrauterine infection (IUI) in preterm infants.

methodsWe retrospectively collected clinical data regarding preterm infants (28

resultsThree hundred thirty (78.1%) of the 422 enrolled neonates showed signs of histologic IUI; 51.8% showed histologic chorioamnionitis alone, and 48.2% showed both histologic chorioamnionitis and funisitis. The independent risk factors identified for IUI were maternal prenatal invasive manipulation, premature rupture of membranes (>18 hours before labor), and prenatal C-reactive protein concentration. The infants with IUI showed higher incidences of respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Low gestational age and low birth weight of preterm infants were significantly associated with a higher incidence of histologic IUI, more severe inflammation, and a higher incidence of complications.

conclusionsHistologic IUI is associated with high complication and mortality rates in preterm infants, as is an increasing severity of inflammation.
